\"Tesco2012<\/a>The curse of Gay Pride 2012 continues to dog Tesco.<\/p>\n

Tesco’s annual profits have\u00a0fallen for the first time in almost 20 years<\/a><\/strong>, as the UK’s biggest supermarket confirmed it was pulling out of the US.<\/p>\n

Despite painstaking research, none of Tesco’s ‘Fresh and Easy’ stores in the USA made a profit, resulting in a \u00a31.2bn write-down.<\/p>\n

The Financial Times reports<\/a><\/strong>: ‘The charges cut Tesco\u2019s statutory pre-tax profit from \u00a34bn to \u00a31.96bn in the year to February.<\/p>\n

Even before the charges, Tesco\u2019s underlying profit fell 14.5 per cent to \u00a33.55bn \u2013 the first annual profit fall in 20 years \u2013 as it counted the cost of the problems in the UK, which prompted its first profit warning in decades in January 2012.’<\/p>\n

Ever since Tesco\u00a0announced in November 2011<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0that it was giving \u00a330,000 to the 2012 London Gay Pride Parade<\/a><\/strong>, things have gone from bad to worse for the supermarket giant.<\/p>\n

Alone of the ‘big four’ it recorded\u00a0a disastrous Christmas 2011<\/a><\/strong>, with its share price down 20% at one point, as decent people boycotted the store and its ‘Big Price Drop’ failed to woo shoppers.<\/p>\n

They sacked their UK operations CEO, and then had to contend with an\u00a0infestation of mice<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0in their\u00a0flagship Tesco Metro in Bedford Street in London\u2019s Covent Garden.<\/p>\n

A Tesco manageress in Gravesend thought it would be a good idea to report a solitary Christian protestor handing out leaflets outside her store to the police. \u00a0Tesco were humiliated when Raj Bhachoo was\u00a0completely exonerated by Dartford Magistrates<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0in March 2012.\"tesco\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What else could go wrong for Tesco and its investors? \u00a0Watching the company had already become for many of them like watching a slow-motion car crash. \u00a0Talking of which,\u00a0Tesco\u2019s online second-hand car sales venture<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0promptly ran out of petrol and closed in April 2012.<\/p>\n

Tesco now has a whole section in its online book store headed\u00a0Financial Crises and Disasters<\/a><\/strong>. At the last look-up it was headed by ‘A Colossal Failure of Common Sense’ by Larry S. McDonald and Patrick Robinson.<\/p>\n

A colossal failure of common sense might be what drove Tesco bosses to give in to the demands of their in-store homosexual lobby group headed by\u00a0Nick Lansley, Head of Research and Development at Tesco.com, a militant homosexual atheist activist who once videoed himself reading James Kirkup’s blasphemous poem ‘The Love That Dares to Speak its Name’.<\/p>\n

But all the ill-fated decisions Tesco bosses have made over the last \u00a0few years are now coming home to roost.<\/p>\n
